Israel's Knesset Approves Bill for Its Dissolution

(MENAFN) Israel's Knesset took its first formal step toward dissolution Wednesday, as lawmakers from both coalition and opposition benches voted overwhelmingly in favor of a bill to disband the parliament in a preliminary reading.

Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana confirmed that 110 lawmakers voted in favor of the proposal, with zero members opposed, according to the Knesset's official channel — a striking show of cross-party consensus rarely seen in Israeli politics.

The vote represents the opening stage of the legislative process that could ultimately dissolve the Knesset and trigger early elections, though the bill will still require additional readings before it can become law.

Notably absent from the chamber during the historic preliminary vote was Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was engaged in a security meeting at the time, according to Israeli media.
